dhcpd

DHCP automatic IP address assignment

DHCP is a protocol like BOOTP (actually dhcpd includes much of
the functionality of BOOTPD!). It assigns IP addresses to clients
based on lease times. DHCP is used extensively by Microsoft and more
recently also by Apple. It is probably essential in any multi-platform
environemnt.

The current DHCP implementations has limits because it can only
assign IP addresses based on ONE Ethernet interface. Some changes
to the kernel need to be made to enable multiple Ethernet Interface
functionality which I expect will be include in some future 2.1.X Kernel.
